Despite these advances in education, when the incursion into Australian lands began the majority of newcomers had little or no formal education, were ignor- ant of other cultures, languages and societies and were not attuned to different possibilities.]]> 2021-09-28 01:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772931551 https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772932774 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' education was not considered important

There was little or no formal education, and it was little of value → it only aimed for Indigenous children aimed only at the completion of their schooling, to attain the level achieved by a ten-year-old in the state education system, with an emphasis on preparing the children for a future as unskilled workers with the government or mission communities, or as cheap labour.

This emphasises how it was believed that ATSI peoples did not require an education, however, this was incorrect. This is partly due to the Industrial Revolution in Europe, which brought a system of schooling to Australia, with the overriding factor factor being instruction rather than true education → the primary goal was to provide a well-trained, skilled labour force.

Indigenous people were seen as 'uneducable' and their education was therefore not taken seriously, their abilities and capabilities being reduced to that of severely below average. This contributed to lower school retention rates for Indigenous children, and ignored the potential for Indigenous children and adults to thrive in an academic work environment.]]> 2021-09-28 01:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772943030 https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772943424 " very poor levels of education existing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people " ]]> 2021-09-28 01:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772943424 https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772946297

This statement derived from the text further supports the stigmatising of the early British colonisers towards the Aboriginal natives. This impacted into a brink of collapse as issues of racism, abuse and belligerent authoritarianism formulated against the natives thus a lack in social justice principles; equity, supportive environment, and diversity. ]]> 2021-09-28 01:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772954991 tiana_hazrat001 https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772963073 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s education
was staged so that information was given to a child when the child was ready to receive
it. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have always had their own education and
this education began as soon as the child moved in the womb, as soon as it was known
that there was a new responsibility. Each day the child was watched to see what their
contribution to the world was going to be. 

Right from the beginning there was specialised education, and for each child there
was a teacher, a mentor and a peer with whom to learn. ]]> 2021-09-28 01:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/saraetomkins/cf92f1u2xums5itm/wish/1772963073
